2 IAASTD Overview International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge Science and Technology for Development

3 IAASTD Overview Assessment process initiated by the World Bank In partnership with FAO, GEF, UNDP, UNEP, WHO and UNESCO and representatives of governments, civil society, private sector and scientific institutions from around the world Uses a strongly consultative 'bottom-up' process that recognizes the different needs of different regions and communities

4 IAASTD Overview Multi-thematic approach Multi-level: global & 5 sub-global assessments Multi-temporal (1950 to 2050); Involved more than 400 authors Peer reviewed by Governments and experts Integrates local Knowledge with institutional Knowledge and looks at policy and institutional issues in light of history (50 years) and proposes options for action Created a common vision of the future of agriculture approved by 58 countries in April 2008, and welcomed by 61 countries

5 IAASTD: Role To comprehensively, openly and transparently assess the scientific, technical and socioeconomic literature, experience and knowledge relevant to how agricultural science and technology can: Reduce hunger and poverty Improve rural livelihoods, and Facilitate equitable, environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development through the generation, access and use of agricultural knowledge, science and technology

6 Global Report: Some Key Findings 1. Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology (AKST) has contributed to substantial increases in agricultural production over time, contributing to food security 2. People have benefited unevenly from these yield increases across regions, in part because of different organizational capacities, socio-cultural factors, and institutional and policy environments 3. Emphasis on increasing yields and productivity has in some cases had negative consequences on environmental sustainability

7 Global Report: Some Key Findings 4. The environmental shortcomings of agricultural practice associated with poor socioeconomic conditions create a vicious cycle in which poor smallholder farmers have to deforest and use new often marginal lands, thus increasing deforestation and overall degradation 7. An increase and strengthening of AKST towards agro-ecological sciences will contribute to addressing environmental issues while maintaining and increasing productivity 8. Strengthening and redirecting the generation and delivery of AKST will contribute to addressing a range of persistent socioeconomic inequities

9 Global Report: Some Key Findings 15. Public policy, regulatory frameworks and international agreements are critical to implementing more sustainable agricultural practices 16. Innovative institutional arrangements are essential to the successful design and adoption of ecologically and socially sustainable agricultural systems

10 Global Report: Some Key Findings 17. Opening national agricultural markets to international competition can offer economic benefits, but can lead to long term negative effects on poverty alleviation, food security and the environment without basic national institutions and infrastructure being in place 22. Achieving sustainability and development goals will involve creating space for diverse voices and perspectives and a multiplicity of scientifically well-founded options, through, for example, the inclusion of social scientists in policy and practice of AKST helps direct and focus public

11 A Major Challenge and Opportunity: Small-scale Farmers Produce the bulk of global food Are the largest number of stewards for the environmental services and biodiversity Higher and sustainable productivity increase at their level will have a major impact on all the development goals Critical need to inform and support policy approaches that address small-scale/family producers, including AKST designed to improve profitability of the sector

15 Options for Action: New Equitable & Sustainable Way Forward Empower, involve and support farmers (women) in sustainable agricultural practices, restoration and management of ecosystem services; crop/animal and labor productivity increases; safety nets Improve access to production resources and remunerative employment on and off farm; recognize the critical role of women and empower them (education, land tenure, add value locally to agricultural products) 15

17 Options for Action: New Equitable & Sustainable Way Promote responsible governance at global, regional and local levels Invest in long term gains versus short term quick fixes (i.e., deal with the cause not the symptoms) 17

21 Transforming Policies to Real Solutions: Thailand s Green Net a Thai social enterprise established in 1993 to promote sustainable agriculture through providing fair-trade market access to producer groups, producing organic products Vision: to be a leader in promoting and supporting "Organic Farming" and Fair Trade through environmentally and socially responsible living as "Life Fair, Live Organic" With 1,100 members, most of whom are organic producers with registered capital of around THB 1.8 million. 21

22 Transforming Policies to Real Solutions: Thailand s Green Net One of the largest organic producers and wholesaler in Thailand with over 20 product lines sold through some 40 retail outlets in Bangkok and around Thailand Operates fair-trade exports to Europe Products are purchased from 8 farmer groups in the Northern, Northeastern and Central regions of Thailand 22

23 Transforming Policies to Real Solutions: Thailand s Green Net Founded to support small-scale farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices in order to improve their livelihood and agro-ecological conditions in the rural areas by raising farmers awareness on the negative impacts of agro-chemicals and the dependency on external markets and promoting indigenous knowledge of sustainable farming practices since early 1990s, had started revolutionizing the strategies through incorporating economic (market) incentive and revising extension methodologies established a local organic certification body to provide inspection and certification services to ensure better market access took advantage of market opportunities for organic products in Thailand and abroad 23

24 Transforming Policies to Real Solutions: Philippines Organic Agriculture Act Republic Act 10068: Organic Agriculture Act of 2010 state policy to promote, propagate, and further develop the practice of organic farming in the Philippines establishes a comprehensive National Organize Agricultural Program (NOAP) which will promote, commercialize and cultivate organic farming methods through farmers' and consumers' education 24

25 Transforming Policies to Real Solutions: Philippines Organic Agriculture Act The program will be carried by the National Organic Agriculture Board (NOAB), a policymaking body that will provide the direction and general guidelines for the implementation of the national program The NOAB will also identify funding sources to expand organic agriculture, monitor and evaluate the performance of programs for appropriate incentives. 25
